10 Sightseeing Tours New Delhi Sightseeing Tour 4 hrs New Delhi designed and built by the British architect Edwin Lutyens and his friend Sir Herbert Baker was formally inaugurated in The Rajpath, formerly known as King's Way, runs from west to east with the Rashtrapati Bhavan at one end. This was built as the Viceroy's residence and today houses the President of India. Down Rajpath, in the eastern end is India Gate, which commemorates some 90,000 Indian soldiers who were killed in the First World War. Further south lies the Qutub Minar complex - the highest stone tower in India. This landmark of Delhi was built by Qutbuddin Aibak to celebrate Ghori's victory over the Rajputs. The Humayun's Tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction of the Taj Mahal. Old Delhi Sightseeing Tour 4 hrs Old Delhi is famous for its distinctly medieval ambience: majestic monuments, labyrinthine alleys and shopping. Standing on the banks of the river Yamuna, the huge red sandstone Lal Qila or Red Fort was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan with the ambition of concentrating the Mughal power in one monument. Facing the Red Fort to its west is the colossal Jama Masjid, or Friday Mosque which can accommodate up to 25,000 worshippers at one time. Same day excursion to Taj Mahal 12 hrs Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the world. It was built in 1630 AD by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his deceased wife, Mumtaz Mahal to enshrine her mortal remains. You will also visit the Agra Fort - the seat and the stronghold of the Mughal Empire under successive generations. Taj Mahal is closed every Friday.

11 Sightseeing Tours IFSO 2012 Golden Triangle (Delhi Jaipur Agra) 3 nights/4 days India's capital and a major gateway to the country, contemporary Delhi is a bustling metropolis, which successfully combines in its folds - the ancient with the modern. Visit to Old Delhi will include visit to the Jama Masjid and walk upto Chandni Chowk, the famous by lanes of Old Delhi and drive past Red Fort. The tour also includes a drive past with photo opportunity of the imposing India Gate, the Parliament building and the Rastrapati Bhawan, the President's residence. City tour of Agra Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the world. It is a UNESCO world heritage site. It was built in 1630 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his deceased wife, Mumtaz Mahal to enshrine her mortal remains. The monument has been described as the most extravagant ever built for love, for the emperor was heart-broken when Mumtaz died, to whom he had been married for 17 years. You will also visit Fatehpur Sikri which was built by Emperor Akbar and served as the capital of Mughal India from 1571 to 1585 AD. The remarkably preserved sprawling fortress houses many palaces, notable amongst them for their architecture is Empress Jodha Bai's palace. Jaipur is an enduring legacy to India's history. A land endowed with invincible forts, magnificent palaces and waves of sand dunes and serene lakes. No other region in the country assembles the many paradoxes of India, as does the desert land of Rajasthan. By far it is the most colourful region in India. The city of victory, Jaipur presides over the fascinating desert state and its people; surrounded by rugged hills, each crowned by a formidable fort; and beautiful palaces, mansions and gardens dotted throughout its precincts. Visit to City Palace, Jal Mahal and elephant ride at Amber Fort are the highlights of Jaipur tour.
